Is tea your cup of tea? 🍵⁠

Even if it's coffee, this new episode of the Flora and Friends podcast will blow your mind. Have you ever reflected about the fact that 300 years ago tea, coffee, chocolate and tobacco were only arriving in the Western world? ⁠

In my interview with Hanna Hodacs and Annika Windahl Pontén from @uppsalauniversity we've explored the history of tea, its trade between Europe and Asia and Swedish botanist Carl von Linné's connection to the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. ⁠

Enjoy this episode with your favourite hot beverage!
